43,000 Feet, A Short Film About a Man’s Final Thoughts After Being Sucked Out of an Airplane

You’re probably not thinking of your wife, or your son, or your mother, or the statistics conference you’re no longer on your way to.

“43,000 Feet”, a short film directed by Campbell Hooper and starring Dylan Pharazyn as John Wilkins, offers a look into the final thoughts of a man that is fairly positive he won’t survive falling from an airplane, but can’t stop himself from running the numbers.

When statistician John Wilkins is sucked out of a plane at 43000 feet, he calculates that he has exactly 3 minutes and 48 seconds before he hits the ground.
